"The Last Night of the World, 1951". The story was collected in 'The Illustrated Man'.

Which bears no relation to the story of that title from the film of "The Illustrated Man." Still waiting to find out where THAT one came from!

Faugh! It was a nice day 'til you reminded me of that fillum!

And that should be "lying in bed", not "laying"; intransitive verb, you know.

(Grumble, grumble...)
